wings of hope

Today I felt a shoulder pain, and low and behold there was wings

They sparkled like diamond rings

My wish had been granted and I was finally free

So I ran into my yard, and all I could see

Was a cloudless starry sky beckoning to me 

So I flew into the atmosphere

And all I could hear

Was the wind joyfully carrying away my tears

I soared on my beautiful wings, not thinking of anything

And I watched the tiny city lights waving at me 

But then gravity pulled me down you see

How could it be so cruel?

I was such a fool

To thing I could be free

And now I was falling

Woe is me

The wind rushed through my head again, but this time in a different direction

And my stomach was falling with me to my near doom

Then I hit a building 

I tumbled on a lawn

What came from my mouth was a yawn

And I realized that what I thought was the ground was a bed

A drop of water on my cheek said, it was too good to be true

My wings were gone, and my limbs like lead

I was a fool
